Was Roy Jones Jr lucky he never fought Michael Nunn ?

Just because Roy Jones looked unbeatable in his prime doesn't mean he wasn't beatable and i doubt many people have actually seen a prime Michael Nunn before the Iran Barkey fight..........

Michael Nunn was 6'2 with superb reflexes/speed and also had power which showed when he destroyed the iron chinned Sumbu Kalambay in 1 round and was also a Southpaw which Roy Jones did have few problems with even in his prime notably against Eric Harding..........

I think Roy Jones would have seriously problems with Michael Nunn's physical attributes along with his speed and everyone always brings up James Toney vs Michael Nunn but Michael Nunn was already into drugs by that time and was past his best and he was still beating James Toney up until he walked intro terrific left hook.

Nunn would be awkward at best but Roy always knew how to win and no body gave Roy Jones too much trouble in his prime. Montell was frustrating but he was still getting beat.

But Montel Griffin was short and didn't have the physical attibutes of Michael Nunn nor did he has his speed or talent........

Roy Jones never met anyone like Michael Nunn in his prime and i think he would of struggled badly im not saying he wouldn't of won but it would of been a very frustrating night for Roy Jones.
